Sri Lankan people have a right to protest peacefully which was essential for democratic expression, US Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung said in a twitter post.
Sri Lankans have a right to protest peacefully – essential for democratic expression. I am watching the situation closely, and hope the coming days bring restraint from all sides, as well as much needed economic stability and relief for those suffering.
